Hinckley, England: Bus-sized glowing object crosses road, driver's car loses power
At 10:45 p.m. on May 25, 1971, Eunice Rose, driving from Odstone toward Hinckley, Leicestershire, near Belchar's Bar, saw a bright object the size of a double-decker bus pass over her car while the engine faltered, the headlights dimmed and the radio cut out.
Background
At 10:45 p.m. Eunice Rose, a 36-year-old housewife from Hinckley, was driving alone from Odstone, Leicestershire, along a country road near Belchar's Bar when she saw a glowing light in the sky. After she turned onto the A447 toward Hinckley, about half a mile on, her car began to lose power: the engine sputtered, the headlights dimmed and her transistor radio cut out. At the same time a large bright object about the size of a double-decker bus, roughly 30 to 35 feet long, crossed smoothly and silently over the road directly above her, lighting the car's interior but not the landscape, and she felt the hair on her neck stand up. Once the object was about 330 feet away, headlights, radio and engine returned to normal. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
